MEADE’S ARMY. Wasuncron, August 20, 1863. Information from the headqusrters of the Army of the Potomac says there is no change or indications of a change of position. Advices concur that the rebel forces ‘Sround Culpepper have besn reduced to General A, P. ‘Hill's command, while Generals Longstreet and Ewell Lave moved southward, probably to Fredericksburg. Mr. F. G, Chapm: ARMY OF TRE ‘Heapquakte Potomac, } VinciNia, August 18, 1-63, ‘The firing of which I informed you yesterday was con- ‘tinued throughout the forencon; but up to this time ‘Dothivg is known here of any engagement having been fought in this vicinity. PROBABLE CAVALRY WIGHT, It is possible, however, that our cavalry have encoun- ‘tered the advance of the enemy in the neixhborhood of Falmouth, or perbaps as high up as Banks’ Ford; and it is also possibile that no fight bas taken place, and that we ‘were unduly excited by the operations of parties engaged in digging wells, who found it necessary to biast through a stratum of rocks in order to obtain water. As we get DO news of any engagement, | think it probabie that the ‘latter eupposition ts correct. THIRST FOR NEWS. The soldiers throughout the army complain bitterly ‘that they are unable to obtain New York papers. The army is ficoded with the cheap seven-by-nine concerns ‘issued in Washington and elsewhere, upon which the “dealers can make a profit of two or three hundred per cent, while the large and enterprising journals are kept back. Another yreat cause for complaint is the fact that these cheap and trashy Washington journals are sent out and dis- ‘tributed by the first train in the morning of the day of their issue, while the more Northern papers, printed the day previous, and which reach Washington at six o'clock on tho day of their publication, at least ten hours before ‘the Washington papers go to press, and fourteen bours ‘be‘ore the first trains in the morning leave for the army, @re kept back until several hours later in the day. I un- derstand that this is done by order from Washington, in ‘order to give the Washington Chronicle a forced circ ction in the army, which t fails to secure by taleut aod enterprise But su course of robbing of soldicrs 16 ag unjust as it is palpabie, and cails for a total revision of ‘the system by which the army is supplied with rending matter. s Despatch.

An order from general beadiuarters, issued on Sunday, is creating some commotion in camp. lt seems that ‘Many Ot the officers of the army, whevever they get lito cainp, immediately send for their wives and iemale rela- tives aud frieads to come and spend a short tine with them, and the practice has grown into a moat mag- nificent unisance. Hevoc General Humphreys issued @ gvneral Orde: on the day named, directing that ai! wo- men now in the army be sent away immediately, aud that po women be hereafter allowed to cume to the ariay under any proteuce whatever. Tike PICKRT LINKS The rebel pickets come up 1 within two or three miles Of the Rappaaunock river, and ure almost consiautly 10 sight of our own. AN INCIDENT occurred night before last at the front which illustrates the daring of the rebels. Lieut.

Interesting Statement of an Escaped Uni Oticer, Major William R. Parnell, of the Fourth New York cavalry, who was taken prisoner at Upperville, pear Ashby’s Gap, on the 21st of June last, where he waa shot in tho leit nip, Desides receiving a sabre cut on the head, gives us the following statement of his experience and suffering among the rebels:— During bis stay in Winchester hospital their prinolpal diet was bread and water twice a day. The surgeons were deprived of ai! their instrumouis and medical supplios, and detained as prisoners of war, contrary to the cartel estab- lished between North and South. The Major remained bere ‘about one month and was then removed to Staunton, about ninety two miles south of Winchester, along with nine officers and eight surgeons of the Union army. On the day after their arrival in Staunton the Provost Marshal— Captain Avis—sent his son, # lieutenant in the Home Guard, to doprive all the Union men—officers and privates of military organizatious—of their money and valuables. Major Parnell requested a receipt for his money and the mame of the officer into whose bands bis elects bad been delivered, both of which wore rofused. He thon exercised the privilege ef all prisoners of war in re- gard to private property, aud which is considered sacred among all nations, by destroying the money in his possession, tearing all the bills to pieces. Adjutant MeGuire, of the Thirteenth Peonsylyania cavalry, and Lieut. Lee, of General Rirney’s staff, followed his exam- ple, and for this act they were all placed in close confino- ment, with a number of condemned prisoners. murderers and all kinds of offenders against social and public law. When they remonstrated, as United States officers, against the stringency of thoir confinement and the crueltios shown to them, they were throutened to be bucked and gagged. They also promised that if the Union officers did not stop their ingolence some of them should be shot. The United States officors then sent in a protest to the commander of the post, Colonel Davidson, aud after some delay they were sent back to their former camp, in com- | pany with a number of other prisoners, That night (the Ist of August) they effected their escape. There were five of these gentlemen engaged in the perilous but auc. cessful attempt. They had somo difficulty in passing the rebel pickets; for it must be known that if taken every one would have run the peril of death; but crawling on thgir hands and feet, and guided by the love of liberty, these brave men travolied for miies, and even- tually succeeded in escaping the watch{ulness of their crafty enemy. They then made for the moun tains of Western Virginia, where they wandered about for twelve consecutive nights, hiding in the mountains during the day. Their food during all this time consisted chiefly of berries, green corn and unripe apples, all of which was acceptable in every cu After a good deal cf exposure and saffering in these dreary mountains this small party of Union officera succoeded in reacning Petersburg, where the friendly Unionists, with their outlying pickets, soon recognized them, and weicomed them to the conrae but true hospitality of their camps. We learn from these officors that tho enlisted men of the rebel army aro every day becoming mors and more demoralized and dissatisfied. Large num- bers of them are anxtous to escape tnoir present Oppression and to get within the Union lines. Desertions ‘re numerous; no less than three hundred of Imboden's cavalry having taken French leave within the past fort. night. The deserters take to the mountains, whero it is next to imposuible to recapturetnem. Two conscripts from Imboden’s cavairy came in to the Union linos in company ‘with the officers above named, and they mado similar complaints to those commonly received (rom the rebel army of the scarcity of provisions and necessaries, and the total absence of com/ort from their ranks. Tt ts the intention of Major Parnell, a3 000 as he is well enough, again to enter the Union army and to draw his sword once more for America. No better or ablor officer could bo found. I¢ is to be hoped that his gallant friends ‘will join io his laudable tden,as in this way we sball secure some valuable soldiers for the Union cause. The two other officers who escaped at the same time with Major Parnell, wero Dr. Coles, of the Twelfth Peau syivaaia cavalry, aod Dr. Spedm.n, of tho Kighty.seventh Pennsylvania volunteers.

She was sailing under a provincial cor tileate of registry, dated Havana, May 11, 1865, and signed J. V. Crawtord, Acting Consul General at Cuba. She was cleared from St. Marks for Havana.
